Domonic Brown: Tired and Sluggish, Leaves Winter Ball
Two words you never want to hear about a player: Tired and sluggish. But those were the two descriptors a team spokesman used when explaining to CSN's Jim Salisbury why Dom Brown was sent home from Winter Ball.
Brown was just 2-29 during his time in the Dominican. Not exactly the type of production you want to see from Werth's heir apparent.
The "he's played a lot of baseball this year" excuse might not work, since Brown has only had 41 at-bats since the beginning of September. Last year, there was a tremendous buzz around Brown going into Spring Training. This year, there is going to be a big ol' question mark.
Looks like Brown could use one of these for Christmas (I'm buying one).
Speaking of Winter and baseball, here's a cold, hard reminder of the four month wait until Opening Day. Seats are being replaced in certain sections of CBP. Photo via (@estebomb).
